Meaning of "lambing" in English

"Lambing" refers to the process in which ewes (female sheep) give birth to lambs. This period is crucial for farmers as it involves the management and care of sheep during delivery to ensure the health and survival of both the ewe and her offspring. Lambing typically occurs in the spring, although some farmers may manage their flocks to lamb at different times of the year to maximize resources or market opportunities. It requires careful attention to the reproductive health of the flock and often involves providing assistance during difficult births.

Meaning of "agnelage" in French

"Agnelage" is the French term used to describe the process by which ewes give birth to lambs. It is an important period in sheep farming, where farmers must be vigilant in ensuring the safe delivery and subsequent care of the newborn lambs and their mothers. The "agnelage" season commonly occurs in early spring, aligning with optimal conditions for lamb development. Farmers often prepare by ensuring that ewes are healthy and properly nourished to support the demands of pregnancy and lactation, thus maximizing the welfare and productivity of the flock.
